GAME MODES

There are four key game modes in CroNix:

Brawl – A 3v3 battle where players must win three of five rounds in a team deathmatch

Survival – A 5v5 battle where players earn points for killing the enemy team or by acquiring and refining “S.O.D.” and the first to 60 points wins

Domination – A 7v7 battle where players must try to capture and secure three control points, earning points the longer they are held, with a central point that doesn’t provide points but acts as a more beneficial respawn location

Raid – A 5v5 battle where players both teams have a harvester that is slowly losing power and at the centre of the map a Power Cell spawns throughout the game, players must try to capture the cell and return it to their friendly harvest to replenish its power

CHARACTERS AND ROLES

There are thirteen different characters in the game, each of which has their own abilities and unique tactics and attacks to employ in battle as well as a particular role they fill. The three key roles are Tanker, Supporter and Assaulter; the Tanker’s main role is to protect their team mates and use their overall survivability to help push a team towards an objective relying on their higher health and defence rating. The Supporter is tasked with buffing teammates and debuffing the enemy, gain assist kills if a buffed allied player kills an enemy or a debuffed enemy is killed. Assaulter’s are the high damage dealers and are responsible for suppressing the enemy, ideal as melee or ranged combatants. Some of the available characters in the game are:

Chris – A brutal melee assaulter he is a trained martial artist who can chain together some explosive kicks and punches to dominate enemies in close combat with his high attack speed and mobility

Liulian – A sneaky stealthier that is able to disappear completely from sight and unleash powerful ambush attacks on unsuspecting opponents that lack the skill or tonic consumables to reveal her

Heabig – Armed with a huge riot shield this tanker is able to provide cover for himself and his teammates whilst simultaneously using his shield as a weapons, smashing enemies to the ground and pummelling them with it

Iron Fist – Equipped with two mechanical hands, one that is capable of firing off a ranged snipe shot and another that fires out a metal fist on a chain to knock enemies down, his special ability allows him to fire five homing missiles at enemies

COMBAT

Combat has a slow and methodical pace when it comes to mobility, and players won’t feel particularly fast especially as the heavier tanker characters, however, when engaged in combat the fighting and combos are explosive and brutal. Players have a variety of skills available to them assigned to the left and right mouse button, Q, E and space bar with the WASD as movement, using two key bars, one to build up Action Points to perform their attacks or sprint (essentially a stamina bar) and a Skill Points bar to build up big attacks that can drop an entire group.
